Booo it's Sunday night

I hate Sunday nights because it means Shawn has to go back to his crummy job. Right now he's working on this huge project that has become the bane of our existence, especially since the deadline is fast approaching and his team is struggling. It doesn't help that he's lost a couple people on his team. I've already been warned that he will be working until 8 and 9 many nights in April. Oh joy. I felt bad that he even had to go into work today. Poor honey.

On to some good news: I had my second doctor visit on Friday and Shawn went with me. We got to hear the heartbeat!! It was so awesome. I couldn't believe how fast baby's heart was beating, which the doctor said is a good sign. She said it was 156, which I've been told 150 and up is good. I had a couple questions for her, and then we were out of there in no time. My next appointment is May 1st. The doctor did tell me that she will need to send me out for an anatomical ultrasound after that to find out the sex of the baby, so it will probably be awhile before I can start decorating the nursery. Bummer! I so want to decorate now, but I've promised I'll wait until we know if we are having a boy or a girl. I'm leaning toward zoo animal or sea animal themed so far.

We did make tremendous steps towards cleaning out the clutter in the apartment. The guest room is getting emptied for when it's time to get the nursery started. On Saturday, we had a family garage sale at Thane and Kristi's house with Barb and Ed, my mom, and cousin Lisa all participating. It was the biggest garage sale I've ever participated in, and the shocker is we all did great. I'd say combined we got close to making $1000, which I think is amazing for a garage sale. I knew Shawn and I would do well since we had two tv's, a set of speakers, a CD/receiver/tape deck set (which I bought in high school and still works well), lots of books, and a ton of clothes. I told Shawn with the money we made we could buy a crib. He said he was thinking about buying an X-Box for the bedroom. What a funny guy!

Then after a long day at the sale, we cleaned up and went to Jason's BBQ to celebrate his new apartment and Kristi's birthday tomorrow. It was so great to get to hang out with Jason and the gang. I've been so busy with Arbonne, baby, and school stuff that I haven't been able to hang out much lately. I recently told Jason that I felt bad that I've been so busy and he agreed that it's all my fault. He's so nice. Ha ha. I must say this is my favorite apartment of Jason's and I love the way he's decorated. He has a ton of framed artwork and it's all displayed nicely throughout the place. I was excited that he even had the photo of him and Kat Von D from Miami Ink up on the wall. (I love the TLC show Miami Ink.) Plus last night I got to hold Chris and Eetung's 4 month old boy, William. He is so adorable I could eat him up. I even got him to talk to me a bit. I couldn't get enough of him. I am so ready to be a mom.

Today was a catch up day with some house work and school stuff. Then I went shopping with Elizabeth and Kristi later in the afternoon. Let's just say Kristi is a bad influence cuz she made me buy two things at Old Navy that weren't on sale. (I have no will power some times when it comes to cute clothes.) I bought some really cute maternity things though, and with the stuff Lisa gave me on Saturday, I've got an adorable maternity wardrobe going now. Plus, we've got Arbonne's annual National Training Celebration coming up in 3 weeks, so I've got to get some new things to wear to that. It's in Vegas this year, so I have to look like a cute pregnant mommy. I then couldn't resist the shoe store and walked out of there with 4 new pairs. I do love shoes. I just wish I could do high heels, but as uncoordinated as I am and with pregnancy on top of it, I decided to go for safer bets. I realized with all the events going on this summer, it was a good idea to invest in a couple new outfits and shoes, which made me feel better walking out of the mall with 5 big bags in hand. Guess there goes all the earnings from the garage sale.
